car care comparisons

I just picked up some Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Now I'm looking for some vinyl and wax products. I've broken it down to a few. Just wondering which you would recommend and why. All input is appreciated. Thanks.

Vinyl - 303 vs. Lexol Vinylex (which one has less shine? I don't want one that'll end up glossy and looking like Armour All).

Wax - Klasse vs. Zaino vs. Zymol

Klasse AIO with SG or NXT is what I do (wash and clay bar before hand)

Currently use Zaino and 303, but haven't experimented with other products. Pretty pleased with these.

Have you tried looking in Off Topic/ Wash & Wax? A wealth of information there.

I use 303 and NXT

NXT and Meguiar's #40 vinyl and rubber cleaner/conditioner. Smells like leather and has a nice low gloss shine.

If you don't want 303 to shine, then just wipe the excess off with a cloth. Much less shine than Armourall even if you don't wipe!
Klasse AIO + SG or Zaino is good. No experience with Zymol and it's expensive too!

I know someone has asked this question before but please don't shoot me. Do the Lexol cleaner and conditioner make our the leather shiny?

Armor all...

Shines so great and makes you slip off your seats.

I spray 303 on a very slightly dampened microfiber towel and then wipe the dash and vinyl areas with that... I don't spray it onto the dash outright, as I have found it to "bounce" onto the windshield and make smears.

Works great, mild gloss (looks "CLEAN", not oily), and lasts a long time.
